I was born in Worcester and lived there for over 25 years before moving. Its honestly not a hassle getting into boston at all lol

It couldnt be more easy IMO. Its 1 road all the way in and its straight ahead or take the train.

In terms of young professionals - there are a some to be found in the city but usually less than what a major city would offer and also a different type of professional. It certainly isnt bussing with young professionals, there are more but worcester is very much still a college and blue collar town. All depends on what youre looking for but there is a reason people move to boston.

Youre less likely to bumb elbows with prominent lawyers, accountants/finance professionals (not just ibank but also corporate FPA) in worcester than you are in Boston but if youre looking things like these you can still hunt them out. All depends on what caliber youre looking for and what profession. The nightlife between the two places is 100% incomparable.
